"I served this at a ladies luncheon and got rave reviews. I also found that the flavor gets even better after a day or twol I would definitely serve it again. There was waste cutting the circles but that made snacks for later. The circles made it look like you went to a lot of trouble."

"Kiltyone never has anything good to say. I am not sure why she is so nasty and negative. So I suggest everyone takes her "reviews" with a grain on salt. Let's hope her life gets a little bit of "sugar" and she can learn to be nicer and happier."
